Journaled in the frames 10, 11 and. 12 beneath the shaft 14 is the glue roll drive shaft 21 which is driven by the gear 22, indicated in dotted lines in. Fig. 1, meshing with the gear 16; this shaft 21 having the gears Z323 and being furnished with the sleeve 24 which extends between the frames 1.] and 12 and carries the arms 2l'-25 on which are adjustably mounted the frames 26 26 of the side flap press rolls 2? 27. Alsojournaled in the frames 11 and 12 is the glue roll shaft 26 having the gears 29-29 meshing with the gears 2323 and furnished with the glue roll sections filt ifill spaced. a suitable distance apart on said shaft. The peripheral portions of these glue roll sections work tl'irough the tank 31 supported between the frames 11 and 12; the usual provision being made by the use of the roll 32, supported in any ordinary manner, for distributing the glue or other adhesive contained in said tank evenly over the periphery of said glue roll sections.

Between the frames 11. and 12., above the shaft 21 is the plate 33 having the upwardly extending end 34, the lateral backwardly extendingwings 3535 and the curved guide 36, the end 34being designed to turn inward one of the end flaps of a carton moved thereover w I die the wings 3535 are shaped to effect the spreading outward of the side llaps of said carton so that these side flaps may pass between the press rolls J7 E? and the related glue roll sections ISO- 36 and receive a thin coating of glue, or other adhesive on their inner surfaces. Provision is also made at this portion of the machine for tucking inward the remaining end flap of the carton before it reaches the part 34 of the plate 33; this being effected by the tucker 37 carried on the arm 38 which is fixed on the shaft 39 journaled inthe frames 1 lhnd 12 and having the lever 40 adapted to be periodically operated, by the rod 41 connected-with said lever and havinga stud which works in the 'roove of the cam 42 on the shaft 15, wherehy the tucker 37 is periodically moved suddenly toward the end 34 of the plate 33.

Supported respectively from extensions from the frames 11 and 12 are the side flap guides 43 and 44 which engage the side flaps of the carton as said flaps pass, in horizontal extension, from the respective glue roll sections and turn said side flaps downward until they are approximately in line with the sides of the carton.

Returning now to the shaft 15, it will be seen, Figs. 1" and 3, that said shaft is furnished, in addition to the cam 42, with the sprockets 45-jond 46 and with the cams 47 and -18, the latter havin the projection 49, by the action of which t e carton carrier is designed to be periodically actuated. Rotatable on the shaft 50 is the sleeve 51 on which is mounted. the carrier member 52, Figs. 2 and 3, to which a series of radially extending carriers, hereinafter more fully described, are, preferably, removahly secured. ()n said sleeve is also mounted the disk 5% having in its peripherya series of notches 55 55 and furnished on its outer face with radially extending ways formed by the walls 56 and. 57,

see Fig. 5, so arranged with reference to the path of movement of the projection 19 of the cam Ah that, when said cam is caused to rotate, this projection 45) will work into said ways in succession and. effect the periodical rotation of said disk and of the carrier member mounted to rotate therewith.

The peripheral shape of the cam 42s is shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings and against this periphery works the hearing 56 of the arm 59 which is mounted to swing on the stud 60 extending from the frame 1.] and is furnished with the locking pin 61 adapted to enter any one of the notches brought into registration therewith when permitted to move inward under the action of the spring 62, secured to the lower end of the arm 56 and to a fixed part'of the machine.

The carton carriers are illustrated in detail in Figs. 2, 7, 8 and 9, each comprising a base 63, designed to he, preferably, removably secured to the central carrier member 52 by means of clamps 6L--61; from the base 63 extends the pedestal 65 to the upper end of which is removably secured the block 66, dcsigned to resist the pressure of the flap sealing devices, in the under sides of these blocks 66-66 are formed sockets 67-67 adapted to act as gaging devices for the upper ends of the rods 6? -69-68 --69 which rods are pivotally mounted in pairs on the pedestals 65 and carry rdlls 70 -70, the outward movement of the free ends of said rods being limited by the walls of: the sockets 67-67 to locate eriphera] portions of rolls 7()-70 slightly ieyond the edges of the block 66 to facilitate the removal of the cartons from said block. As I have shown the sockets 67- 67' as having lateral dimensions greater than the diameter of the free ends of the rods, I provide the rods 68*68 with securing members 71*71 having slots through which the clamping screws 72*72 extend, these screws being screwed into the pedestal 65 toclam the rods 68-68 in the adjusted position. here, however, the sockets 67 are formed to fit closely over the ends of the rods 68-69 no securing device is re aired. The blocks 66 may be secured to t e pedestals 65 in my usual manner and to the edges of thes; blocks are fastened the side plates 73 and 74 having the upturned lips 75-r75, the plates 73 having openings 76 through which a tool may be entered to loosen or tighten the screws 7272. On the shaft 50 are mounted sprocket wheels as 77 and 78, Fig. 1, the sprocket 77 being driven from the s rocket 46 on the shaft 15 by means of thee ain 79 While power is transmitted from the sprockets as 78 to spreekete enffi'he sleeves SO -SQ of ghe sateen seen by refereneew Fig. 2, at this time He:

As the carton is carried along from the folding position, it passes over the guides 132 which tend to support the fourth flap against the third flap until the glue therebetween is partially set, the closed end of the carton is then carried forward over a series of pressure rolls 133 which are journaled in yielding bearingsof curved frames 134 134 in the machine and are driven by means of the sprocket chain 93, Fig. 1. The bearings of the first roll 135 of said series 133 are connected with the rod 136 which is pivotally connected with the short arm 13? of the lever 138, this lever being pivoted on the member 139 extending from the frame 11, and the free end of said lever extending upward and bearing on the cam 140 on the sleeve 51 and so shaped that as a carton carrier a preaches said first roll 135 the lever 138 is oreed outward to effect the drawing outward of the bearings of said roll 135 sufficiently to permit the free movement of the end of the carton over said roll, the sharp return of the cam 140 then permitting the return movement of the lever 138 to press said roll 135 against the fourth flap of the carton whereby the closed end of the carton may be more readily'carried into contact with the rolls 133.

Mounted on the frames 11 and 12 are the brackets 141'14l in which is journaled the rock shaft 142 having a depending arm 143 towhieh is pivoted the rod 114 which extends inward and has a roller bearing working against the edge of the cam 47 on the shaft 15, the action of said cam on this rod 144 being timed to effect the rocking of the shaft 142 as a carton is carried over the rolls 133 to swing the cam members 14F----145, on the end portions of said shaft against the associated rolls 146l46.

The rolls 146-146 are carried by rods 147 147 which are mounted to slide laterally in guides of the brackets ]41141 and having at their inner ends frames 148*148 in which are rotatably mounted the friction rolls 149-149 driven by any usual bevel gears from the shafts 150l5U, which shafts are free to reciprocate in the sleeves EKG- journaled in extensions of the brackets 141-141 while rotating with said sleeves, such rotation being effected by the chains 81-81 working over the sprockets on said sleeves.

When the clutch I8 is shipped to engage with the complemental clutch member of the gear 17, to connect said gear with the shaft 15, said shaft is caused to rotate with such gear and the mechanism in connection with the shaft is driven. As the cam 48 rotates, its stud 49 is swung into one of the guide ways, formed by the walls 56 and 57, on the side of the disk 54 and, while working outward and inward in said guide way, effects the partial rotation of such disk 54 and of the carton carrier base 52, mounted to move with said disk, to advance the carton carriers, extending radially from said base, and the cartons placed on said carriers through the flap turning and sealing devices by a series of step by step or periodical movements of the cartons, between which movements there is a series of dwells in the forward movement of the cartons from the time the stud 49 leaves one of said guide ways until it engages the next succeeding guide way.

As the carton is carried forward, by the carrier, the first end fla a is brought to bear against the part 34 o the plate 33 and is turned inward, as is shown in Figs. 2 and 1.1, while, before the carton is moved wholly by the end of said part 34, the tucker 37 is actuated by the cam 42 and the connections therewith to tuck inward the second end flap b so that these flaps can be carried forward over the plate 33 in the positions shown in Fig. 2. In this forward movement of the carton the side flaps c and d are spread outward by the wings 35-35 of the plate 33 until they are approximately at right angles with the body of the carton and a dwell in the movement of the carton carrier is had approximately at this time. During the next forward movement of the carton carrier the side flaps are carried over the peripheries of the respective glue roll sections 3U-30, being thus supplied with adhesive on their under, or inner surfaces, and the carton is brought to a rest opposite the folding devices for the third and fourth flaps. In the passage to this position the ends flaps a and b are sustained in the positions shown in Fig. 2 while the side'flaps in traveling under the guides 43---44 are turned downward, the flap 0 being bent inward beyond the line of its carton side by the inturned end of the guide 43 to the position shown in Figs. 6 and 12, to hold the free ends of the flaps a and b from springing downward, this position of the flap 0 being maintainetbby the plate 113 after this flap 0 is moved past the end of the guide 43.

Approximately as the flap 0 moves past the end of the guide 43 it bears against the side of the holder 113, previously swung to this position, and is held by such holder in the inclined position against the edges of the flaps a and b until the thirdflap folder moves inward and folds said flap 0 against the flaps (1 and f); the holder 113 being then moved backward before the fourth flap cl is swung inward and upward. At this time the shaft 94 and its cam 96 has been so rotated, by the mechanism heretofore described, that the ments operating to fold inward the end flaps of said blank during one of said periods of movement, and means for subsequently folding inward one of the side flaps of said blank when the carrier is at rest.
